Coco Zabel
Winnetka, IL. I’ve spent every summer on Cape Cod since I was born, and I’m excited to be returning for my second summer at HPTA! I’m a rising freshman at Villanova University, where I’ll be studying in the School of Business. In high school, I was a four-time Illinois All-State tennis player, earning a top individual ranking of 6th place. I was proud to be part of two state championship teams and two state runner-up teams during my time there. I’m passionate about tennis and love sharing that enthusiasm with players of all ages and skill levels.
Walker Naughton
Hello HPTA! My name is Walker Naughton and this will be my fourth year as a tennis instructor for the club. I grew up playing tennis with all the other HPTA staff on these same courts, and am excited for another summer with Brandon, my fellow coaches, and all the members that I have the privilege of working with. I just graduated from Deerfield Academy where I captained the Varsity Tennis program, and next year I will be attending Hamilton College. Hopefully I will have the opportunity to pursue my tennis career with the Continentals. In my free time I love to compete in tennis, play guitar, and spend time with my family here on the Cape.
